He was a member of the Baptist Church, and served as a Deacon up until his death. He left a widow and one child." Edgefield Death Notices and Cemetery Records, compiled by Carlee T. McClendon (Columbia, SC: The Hive Press, 1977), p. 36, quoting a death Notice published in the Edgefield Advertiser on November 25, 1841. This therefore also seems likely to be the son of Charles ROPER (d bef 27 Jan 1801 - Edgefield, SC). Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
